Whenever I attempt to host a multiplayer game, it gets stuck on "Launching Game" and then kicks me back to the menu (the other players get a message that the host disconnected). This is on both of my Windows 10 PCs. Some of my friends who use Windows 10 PCs as well also get the same issue.I have researched this online and have tried everything:

-Verifying game data
-Running  EL as administrator every time

-Toggling off Read-only

-Adding EL to the firewall exception

-Adding EL worldgeneration to the firewall exception

-Adding new Inbound and Outbound rule in Windows Defender Firewall Advanced Security

Nothing we've tried have fixed anything. Note that this is only for hosting a game, we can still join others' multiplayer games with no issue. The game is great, but it multiplayer unplayable unless I have a friend who is able to host a game.

Edit: After looking at the logs and resetting them then starting a new hosted game and looking at errors, I believe that this error is the reason this issue is happening:
